Letter of Agreement With Tyndall AFB
by admin on Mar.03, 2010, under Airpark News
The airpark management and residents are currently working on a Letter of Agreement (LOA) with Tyndall AFB which would influence operations at the airpark. The initial LOA from Tyndall seems to insist on communications with Tyndall tower for airpark operations (in flight and on the ground) and suggests landing on runway 27 and departing on runway 09 to avoid Tyndall’s Class D airspace. As written, it doesn’t address the requirement for airpark operations to communicate on our multicom frequency per the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), and sets up a potentially hazardous operation by recommending using a separate runway for landing versus departures. Hopefully these issues can be resolved before it is signed.

Does anyone know if Tyndall’s ATC is 24/7 or just “duty hours” during the week?

According to PAM’s page on AIRNAV, tower operations are:
M-F 0600-2200
S-S 0900-1700
Closed holidays. Keep in mind that for operational requirements, they may be open at any time so it’s always a good idea to give them a call on 133.95 if you think you might impinge on their Class D airspace. They’re actually a pretty friendly and accommodating bunch of folks over there!
